· Reports to the VP of Retail and Loss Prevention Every sale funds a job. Our stores turn donated goods into work and training for people with barriers to employment. We're looking for a retail leader who loves the energy of the sales floor, knows their numbers cold, and gets fired up about building great store managers.
Why you'll love this role
* Real scope. Oversee multiple stores and lead the Store Managers who run them.
* A seat at the table. Work directly with the VP of Retail and Loss Prevention to shape sales strategy.
* Purpose you can see. Store results fund job training and placement in our own community.
* Not a desk job. You'll be on the road and in the stores, making things better every day.
What you'll do
* Drive sales and hit budget across your stores, catching gaps in the daily numbers and fixing them fast
* Coach and develop Store Managers, Assistant Store Managers and Leads
* Raise the bar on processing, pricing, merchandising and rotation with a Kaizen mindset
* Keep stores safe, clean and protected, alongside our Safety and Loss Prevention teams
* Create a shopping experience that keeps customers coming back
What you bring
* 5+ years of senior manager-level experience in retail or the nonprofit sector (multi-store experience is a big plus)
* A bachelor's degree in business or a related field, or equivalent retail management experience
* Comfort with P&Ls, budgets and cash control
* A valid California driver's license, auto insurance and reliable transportation (business mileage is reimbursed)
* Flexibility: the schedule is generally Tuesday through Saturday, with some early mornings, evenings and weekends
What the job involves physically
This is an active role. You'll stand, walk and drive for much of the day, and occasionally lift up to 49 lbs, with team lifts or equipment for anything heavier. The full job description is available on request.
Benefits
* Quarterly performance bonus. Your results are rewarded every quarter.
* Medical, dental and vision coverage
* 403(b) retirement plan to help you plan for the future
